The Residuals vs. Capture History plot shows all of the Anscombe residuals for each possible capture history. The Anscombe residuals are the residuals transformed so as to follow a normal distribution (McCullagh and Nelder 1989). Each residual is labeled with a number indicating the population it is from, with "A" used for population ten, "B" for eleven, etc. Horizontal red lines indicate values of -2.0 and +2.0. If the model adequately fits the data, the Anscombe residuals should follow a normal distribution and approximately 95% of them should lie within the two horizontal red lines.
The user can select any data point on the plot, and the information for that point will be displayed along the bottom, as shown below.
The user can also select the Scatter option to see the individual points more clearly.
The scatter option offsets the points for the capture histories around the columns for the capture history so that the individual points may be more easily seen and selected, as shown below.
